Exact solution to a Lindley-type equation on a bounded support

Probability 2014-04-23 v1

Abstract

We derive the limiting waiting-time distribution FWF_W of a model described by the Lindley-type equation W=max{0,BAW}W=\max\{0, B - A - W\}, where BB has a polynomial distribution. This exact solution is applied to derive approximations of FWF_W when BB is generally distributed on a finite support. We provide error bounds for these approximations.
